The British Parliament has been hit by a cyberattack

The British Parliament has been hit by a “sustained and determined” cyberattack attack, according to The Telegraph, which has left lawmakers unable to remotely access their e-mail.

Authorities discovered unusual activity on the computer networks this morning, and have moved to take steps to protect them, which appears to include preventing access outside of the Palace of Westminster. In an e-mail to Members of Parliament, parliamentary authorities say that they have “confirmed that hackers were carrying out a sustained and determined attack on all parliamentary user accounts in an attempt to identify weak passwords.”
